Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am tired of politicians making empty promises and doing nothing once they get in office. It is possible to get things done, but it takes someone with the guts and experience- I have both. Why am I running? I am sick of the way things are and I ain't willing to take it anymore- we can do better and our children deserve better.
